Best KPortal Reviews
We had booked for lunch; upon arrival, they couldn’t locate the booking and it went downhill from there.
Everything took ages - the menus, the drinks, the food, the condiments and the bill. We had to stand up and go inside multiple times to ask for anything.
My vegetarian friend ordered a vegan burger and was served a beef burger with bacon. She then had to wait while the rest of ate our meals, and when it came out, it was burnt and she ate it alone. They forgot my other friend’s side dish altogether.
The portion of mussels was truly tiny, and the chips were over-fried and in small pieces, like the kind you get at the end of a bag.
BUT in their defence, there were only two staff members looking after the whole place (one of whom was on his first day), they knew they messed up, and they also tried to fix it by offering us Prosecco and taking the burger off the bill without us asking. That’s pretty decent, and is worth a star all on its own.
However, at present I really couldn’t recommend this place if you’re looking for a meal, especially not for the price you pay. Maybe treat it as a bar as it has pretty good cocktails.
Jolie looked like it would be fun during the evening but disappointing for brunch, unfortunately. Think my group and I may have caught them on a bad day - half the menu wasn’t available, service took ages, billing system was not working, they mixed up our order, etc.
Food was ok but eggs were over cooked and the mushroom croquettes were dry.
The terrace was very pretty though and must be buzzing in the summer so hoping to go back and catch them when the whole machinery works.
I went to Jolie twice to celebrate two different birthdays. The restaurant is built with a fun Parisian concept in mind, serving delicious foods and creative drinks. I would recommend their duck, mushroom croquettes and steak tartare. The second time I went there, we ordered all their vegetarian and vegan menus which was amazing as well.
The staffs were attentive, very friendly and adhere to all the guidelines for Covid, making our dining experience even better. They even gave us complimentary desserts for both birthdays which made our experience so sweet and memorable.
Great selection of sharing plates, really tasty food. Nice cocktails and lovely outdoor terrace setup with heaters and shelter from the rain! Even on a cold wet night we still had a great evening! Will be back
Absolutely stunning spot in Chelsea with beautiful decor, friendly staff and a perfect French menu.
The venue is decorated lavishly, but never feels pretentious. It's the type of place were time flies by while you are absorbed in the music, friendly service and small plates of food.
Cocktails were creative, with one of them coming out in a smoke filled chest. For Champaign, I was encouraged to brush the nose of a unicorn which when filled my glass from its mouth.
The food was french style, with flavourful croquettes, smoked duck breasts and beef tartar. There are also a few dished from 'holidays abroad' such as an amazing beef shin ragu pappardelle and burrata. We loved these all, and I'd say you need to get the croquettes and duck. If you love burrata, you can't beat this one either.
After our meal, we had some fine espresso martinis, another specialty of the venue. Overall a really nice experience, made all the more great because of the friendly staff.
Visited by chance just looking for a cocktail bar, amazing selection of espresso martinis in a quirky lounge environment. All staff were very friendly, particularly the host.
Had a really lovely set menu here to celebrate something special. The espresso martini menu was extensive - I had the salted caramel one and it was delicious. My partner is a meat eater and I am a vegan. It was great to have lots of options for both of us on the food menu. I can say the vegan options were delicious, and it was great that lots of creamy cocktails used dairy free alternatives so I could enjoy them. The staff here were very friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. We felt really welcome here and will definitely return. Thank you!
Amazing food, service and drinks - highly recommend. Also a good place to spend most of an evening - you can eat in the duck + champagne, and go upstairs to The Bletchley afterwards.
P.S if you like Espresso Martini’s - order the ‘After Blacks.’
